Lovely, well maintained hotel,  pool  and gardens . The staff committed , knowledgeable and friendly. 
Dinners in the History restaurant were without exception delicious, especially the First Class Railway Mutton Curry which was outstanding. 
These were preceded by a visit to the bar, over which knowledgeable barmen preside.
All in all, a wonderful stay and the next door ferry was never a problem for us, indeed we think we will miss the throbbing motor which we found quite comforting.
